Common Concerns Answered
The wax gets very thick in cold weather. How do I handle this?
Collinite 845's consistency is temperature-dependent; it thickens when cold and thins when warm. Simply warm the bottle slightly (e.g., in direct sunlight or a warm water bath) to achieve a more workable consistency. This change does not impact its protective performance.
Some users mention a strong scent. Is this a concern?
While the scent is noted by some users, it is a characteristic of the formulation and dissipates after application and curing. The exceptional durability and protection offered by Collinite 845 outweigh this sensory aspect for most users.
Is Collinite 845 expensive compared to other waxes?
While the initial price point might appear higher than some alternatives, Collinite 845's superior durability, covering a larger area (1,200-2,000 sq. ft.), and extended protection (4-7 months) provide significant long-term value and reduce the frequency of reapplication.
